Research, Innovation and Start-up Committee: Call for Comments

At the AmCham Board Strategic Retreat in mid-September 2021, the Chamber set its 2022 priorities. Among them is the Digital Economy and Innovation Priority with focus on Start-up & Innovation Ecosystem Development. To achieve this goal AmCham Bulgaria will establish “Research, Innovation, and Stat-up” Committee.

Potential Goals of the Committee:
  • Product/Services Validation: connecting members with startups to validate the innovative projects of the latter.
  • EcoSystem 2.0: to lead and to facilitate the process of connecting different parties in this ecosystem.
  • Legal: to improve legal regulations.
  • Advocacy and Outreach: to partner with the government and other business NGOs to develop more productive business environment.
